‘Glee’s Heather Morris Sports Black Eye in Edgy Photo Shoot

Heather Morris shows off a much edgier side in a series of provocative portraits taken by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. The 24-year-old “Glee” star (and former So You Think You Can Dance contestant) sports a black eye in order to portray what Shields describes as “as a subversive ‘Barbie style’ housewife.”

“Heather was the most talented dancer I have ever worked with. She was amazing,” Shields tells Us Weekly of the highly-stylized shots. “There was no Photoshop or trickery involved — that really is her doing those moves.”

“Our shoot poses a lot of questions, but just like in real life, Heather is definitely not a victim,” he tells Us. “More like a really liberated woman.”

Shields, who’s photographed Morris’ Glee costars Jenna Ushkowitz and Dianna Agron, adds that “it would be great to do Lea Michele next.”
